Priority to set
Of gifting to prepare
Awakening this day
Into our time of prayer
Beginnings’ offering
When the mind is clear
One of morning light
Within the open air
Stilling of the soul
To stir the inner ear
Speaking heart to heart
Silence that we share
Birthing of this day
Creator be aware
Of outer and within
Your Presence being here
Too busy now, to help the cause
Let Spirit rise, with Word to pause
Turn direction of my view
Center, center, soul in You
When I’m upset, in path today
May ego still, let my heart say
Refocus now of my view
Center, center, soul in You
When overwhelmed, with stress this day
Let the soul arise and turn to pray
An inner turn of my view
Center, center, soul in You
No formula within my prayer
Just be loved in Presence here
Fill with light within my view
Center, center, soul in You
Hydrangeas are blooming
In beauty of view
Warming my soul
For all I see is you
Morning birds are singing
Sweet song flowing through
Spirit of the lifting
For all I hear is you
Friends and family blessings
Treasure to pursue
Love within the binding
For all I feel is you
Good God of our giftings
A message to construe
Deep, You dwell within us
The love I feel is you
Let it all sink in
Our being to effect
On the humility
Of our God, to reflect
Hidden in a baby
Or in a piece of bread
Jesus took on flesh
Creation to be Fed
You cannot separate
Humility from love
For love makes us humble
Love is God, above
If God himself is humble
Let us truly see
In my life of living
How else can I be
Found in the Bible
The Greek word for sin
Is “Hamartia”
A thought here begin
Literally meaning
Missing the mark
In contemplation
With Spirit embark
What is my target?
Towards what do I aim
What is the prize
That I proclaim?
If I am honest
My sin does appear
For I am the center
Of my target here
Lord, let me repent
Let my goal be true
In living my life
May my center be You
Lord I ask of You
A gifting to receive
One within Your view
Of knowing to perceive
One of souls’ encounter
Truly of the seeing
Vision of the deep
Of their inner being
Beyond the mortal skin
Appearance fade away
Past our brokenness
With everyone this day
To see as You do
To cherish them right here
Acceptance be complete
To bind with love, You share
A practice of divine
Of treasure to pursue
Only through the blessing
Of the grace of You
This world of deceiving
I find myself longing
A store of the calling
Another belonging
A turning to prayer
Desire of longing
A calling beyond
Another belonging
One of the Spirit
Eternal of longing
A calling divine
Another belonging
Love of the sharing
Community drawing
Souls of the calling
Another belonging
